Designing my first metal XDA keycap using 3D Rhino (feedback please)
« on: Thu, 24 September 2020, 13:59:55 »
I've been following this site for awhile now, however  I finally decided to join today :D  so this is my first real post.
This is an xda 1U cap that I want to share, I am still designing the final touches, so any input would be great  :thumb:

That is stunning! What alloy is it?

I have a few zinc/pewter? IBM caps from several years ago that have acquired a "patina" that is pretty well impossible to remove.

"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

Thank you I appreciate that you think it looks good.
I haven't made this keycap yet, I am still deciding on what materials and finishes to try out.
Hopefully I will have something made by next month.
